Pepe Reina insists he has no intention of leaving Liverpool FC despite admitting links to Barcelona are “flattering”.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper is thought to be on the Spanish giant’s wish-list this summer as replacement for Victor Valdes, who has expressed his intention to leave the Nou Camp.

Barca are reportedly ready to launch a bid in the region of £8.4m although Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists Reina, who is under contract until 2016, is going nowhere.

Reina also insists he is happy at Anfield, saying his family are settled on Merseyside.

However, the former Villarreal stopper has previously said he would like to end his career in Spain and the lure of returning to Barca, where he began his career, would no doubt be tempting.

“I have three more years with Liverpool. I’m satisfied, comfortable and my family are very happy. Rumours are difficult to control but it’s flattering when a club like Barca are interested in you,” Reina told Cadena Ser, a Spanish radio station.

“I don’t know if there has been contact between the clubs or with my agent. At the moment I don’t think there’s anything serious.”

He added: “I don’t know how long I’ve got left in football, what I do know is I want to enjoy what remains and feel appreciated and at Liverpool I have that.”

Reina joined Barcelona as a teenager and made 49 appearances for the La Liga giants.

“The years I was in Barcelona were very good, I don’t have any bad feelings about not succeeding there,” he said. “I would’ve liked to have played there more, of course, but there’s no need to over-dramatise things.”
